a couple of questions...

<p>1) I'm interested in possibly applying for the textile design program in HE, does anyone here know about it/majoring in it? What is it like? I'm kind of skeptical of how great of a fashion program it can be without access to the same opportunities offered by a large city. I would really like to talk to somebody who is pursuing this major. </p>

<p>2) Is it possible to double major in two different schools? Specifically I would be interested in a history or sociology (so I'm guessing Arts and Sciences?) and fashion design (Human Ecology). If not, would it be possible to, say, major in history and take a minor in fashion design?</p>

<p>impossible to do a dual degree in those two schools. only with AAP/Engineering, Arts/Engineering, Arts/AAP (that's all i'm pretty sure). but yea no dual degrees with contract colleges.</p>

<p>could you at least minor or take classes there?</p>

<p>so its impossible to double in CS and bio?</p>

<p>It is possible to do CS in Engineering, and Bio in CAS, not Bio in CALS.</p>

<p>remember that the dual degree program often takes 5 or more years to complete.</p>

<p>yea alamode you could minor (unofficial) and take classes there.</p>

<p>sorry to hijack this thread, but how about both engineering and economy? My major would be something in engineering field, but I don't want to limit myself just in it.</p>

<p>You can't really double major across colleges. There are various engineering minors that might have something similar to what you are looking for (see <a href="http://www.engineering.cornell.edu)%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.engineering.cornell.edu)&lt;/a>. You can still take as many econ classes as you want, but it won't be an official part of your degree.</p>

<p>AnbuItachi: You can do both CS and bio in Arts.
Tsenguun: You can do dual degree with an engineering degree and Econ, but very, very few people actually do something like this. A lot of engineers will just take a few Econ classes if they're really interested.</p>

<p>There is also a Business for Engineering students MINOR and also an Engineering management MINOR that you could complete Tsenguun that kind of has the same feel as learning about economics/business.</p>

<p>Regarding Econ and Engineering, a good option would be to do OR and then minor in a very specific engineering type, since OR involves a lot of econ-like classes and is more flexible for taking those classes.</p>

<p>FYI: I considered doing the dual degree program with CS and Biology, actually, but finally decided just to stick with CS in the College of Engineering and use my specialty/technical electives to take biology courses (using my AP credit to get into them without suffering through intro bio, haha). This way I get the Biology background but can take classes that I'm interested in rather than all of them, while still staying in the College of Engineering and learning CS really well. (If anyone really wants to know about my whole plan, pm me, lol.)</p>

<p>so basically I could take fashion classes but I couldn't have an official minor or anything?</p>

<p>my friend is a TXA major...i see her sketching dresses, hustling off to the sewing lab late nights sometimes. There's a year end fashion show which is pretty cool - totally student run.</p>

<p>I have 2 friends who are fabric sciences majors (i THINK that's what they're officially called) and they both seem to love it. One of them is a rising senior and spent this past spring semester in Hong Kong. She also has her own shop already in Boston and an online site: [url=<a href="http://www.csorkperu.com/%5Dindex%5B/url"&gt;http://www.csorkperu.com/]index[/url&lt;/a&gt;]&lt;/p>

<p>The other is a rising sophomore and is not an official major yet (I think she's transfering). She's also minoring or something in wine-making.</p>

<p>Both of them seem to love it but I know for a fact they spend a LOT of time in MVR studio (which btw, is the most ****ing complicated building to escape from in the world).</p>

<p>Oh, I know someone else doing that major too. Don't talk to her much but she seems to like it seeing as how she switched into it.</p>

<p>Is it easy to switch majors between different schools?</p>

<p>^^If you want to leave your college to pursue another major you'd need to do an internal transfer. It's fairly easy to do....</p>
